Jaclyn Di Matteo ’s Reviews > Illness as Metaphor and AIDS and Its Metaphors > Status Update

Finished illness as metaphor — the political and economic impacts of TB and cancer metaphors talked about more toward the end was super interesting I kind of wish she talked about that throughout more. Otherwise really liked it! Her writing is excellent.

“While disease metaphors are never innocent, it could be argued that the cancer metaphor is a worst case: implicitly genocidal.”
